MultiTrack Recorder Plugin User Reviews

Doesn’t sync with AUM and or Xequencer correctly.

This would have been great to be able to utilize the AUM mixers. You guys specifically stated that it was made for AUM. It’s doesn’t link the loop points with other apps through midi clock or Ableton link. If you press start in any app connected its starts if you press stop it stops but doesn’t loop. You a have to have that ability to work. Can you imagine having to listen to the whole song all the way through just to edit on point over and over or setting the loop points separately between apps every time you want to edit or mix a few bars and still not having them be in sync other than the bpm. You haven’t shown an update in 3 years. I would like a refund.

Works great in Aum

Perfect companion for multitrack audio recording in Aum

love your work! truly

but I’ll admit, I’m frustrated that only being able to arm one track at a time renders this app and all it amazing features useless to me. I would like to record 4 audio tracks,and 3 midi tracks at one time on separate tracks, Hoping in the future that multiple track arming will be a possibility? thanks

Decent app Lacking full parameter control

I wanted to use this app with an external midi controller to have a iPad multitrack experience, but found that some basic parameters are not supported (track record arm, solo). Full list below might help you make the decision if it’s important to you. I hope the developer could add this in but the last update was over a year ago so… let’s see.
Missing controls:

MIXER:
*Solo tracks
*Track EQ
*Bus Output

TRANSPORT:
*Rewind
*Track record arm (please please please)
*Loop mode
*Copy
*Paste
*Duplicate
*Punch in
*Punch out
*Snap

Now to be fair you can controls these elements in the app with the touchscreen, but just not with external controllers.

Fix the sync please

Trying to use this plugin as a simple looper. However, in AUM the sync seems to lose accuracy with each iteration of a loop (and becomes noticeable after several). This needs to be fixed. It would be nice if (as an option) in the remote mode, after changing a clip, the new clip could start from where the previous clip left off (on the relative timeline) rather than from the beginning.

Essential if you need to extend existing EUM recordings

This is the plug-in that places AUM one decisive step closer to becoming a fully fledged modular DAW, and not just a mixing and routing environment. Another stroke of genius from the developer.
Are use this tool to punch in phrases, soundscapes and other musical ornaments after the main mix has been recorded live.

Great app. 1 request

Love the app. Just get it. My 1 request is please make an AUM add on app that controls and triggers the loops. The remote looping is fantastic and I love it in helium as well but trying to remember which keys do what is such a hassle. I would gladly pay for a stand alone add one trigger panel that I can use inside iOS but also map the trigger pads if I want to external gear. You do such nice graphics with your easy and effects that this is Perfect for you to make a simple, clear, labeled, beautiful trigger app to trigger the loops
You’ve really stumbled on a cool creative flow with these loops and remote control.. this could be a creative game changer like Ableton and Maschine were. So much potential for fast fun creative music production.
Please consider it. Thank you.

Awesome App

This recorder does wonders for AUM production. Using this in conjunction with WavePad to process stems for import into MPC.

Fantastic but recent problems in AUM

Fantastic brilliant - but it won’t record in AUM as a notice pops up to say it only records at 48khz? If I try and change this in AUM I have all sorts of problems on my iPad and after many hours of tweaking I want to have all apps set to 44.1khz? Please change the settings so this is not an issue! Otherwise it is unusable which is really a shame. Thanks so much!

Excellent Support 4-Pockets!

Basically, I couldn’t record any longer because I wasn’t using MR as designed and because of such I had a lot of files, something you wouldn’t have treating it ‘one’ song at a timer then ‘Tidy’ing’ up. 🤓 Paul, you gave excellent support!

I can record again.

Disappointed

Would like a refund it is unusable

New changes are awesome

The recent changes and upgrades to this app have made. Huge difference for those of us who love looping. Check this app out, especially if you haven’t looked recently!

たいへん重宝します。

Very useful, except...

Multitrack allows audio recording along a timeline within apps such as AUM and as such provides a unique service that isn’t available from anywhere outside of a DAW, hence its incredibly useful and works well, in a basic way.

There’s one glaring and somewhat inexplicable omission. Unlike virtually any other audio recording app or plugin, audio files are hidden from the iOS files app - and the only way to locate them, is to locate the correct instance of the multitrack plugin in the correct project...so if you’ve been using this for a long time with many instances and projects, locating that one file becomes tedious. And even then one has to mix down the audio in order to then export it for use elsewhere.

5 starts once this is implemented.

Tracks

Hi can I record 2 tracks at the same time 1 vocal 1 guitar

Ok but not great

Clunky UI. The #1 priority with an app like this should have been rendering performance (which is clunky) and waveform display options (summed stereo and halved height would have been very nice) but this is bare minimum.

Should also have just used direct Files access and storage. We are big kids who can manage and backup our files now, or rather would like to. This is the worst part of the app.

Really impressed

This app is a superb versatile recorder and I love using it. My rate of work flow quadrupled since dropping my previous multitrack app. I have most the 4 Pockets apps I very pleased with functionality and support.

Unwieldy

Tough to do simple tasks with; easy to lose tracks unintentionally; frustrating overall, just get a proper DAW instead.

Needs Work

I tried this on an iPad Air 1 and it plays tracks when it wants to. Even when tracks are unmuted sometimes only one track plays until I mute the silent track and unmute it, then it plays together with the other track. Very difficult when trying to edit tracks.

Second problem, sometimes when I have worked on a project for a while and I play, it does not stop even when I stop it, it just keeps playing until I import another audio or just totally close the whole app down.

Thinking it wan an iPad Air 1 problem, I now have an iPad 7 and still the exact same issue. It seems to me it is some sort of buffer / memory problem, as the essential functions and Audiobus still work perfectly.

Third problem. When I save songs sometimes it does not save the EQ, so I have to set those again every time I open the file to work on it.

These three problems occur on an iPad Air 1 and an iPad 7 running the latest update, so no issues with the iPad.

Fix these three problems and I’ll give it 5 star

On another note, App support link does not take you to a dedicated app support page but to a site which seems totally unrelated.

Read this if you have issues with sample rates

Update: Thanks for the response, it seems Apple could provide some better system audio controls at this point.

If you’re working in AUM this is one of the best ways to manage audio recordings within the app while you work on ideas and tracks. Having a pool of files to work with in the main window instead of managing them inside the menus is great.

Original issue: I love this app, using it with something like AUM opens up many possibilities. Until I discovered it only records at 44.1K and the resulting mix downs are pretty useless since iPads seem to be locked to 48K without using an external audio interface. Any chance this can be addressed to at least allow the user to change the rate???

Side note: I did submit a bug report to apple on this as well. I’ve also read that older iPads with headphone jacks allow the sample rate to altered. It’s kind of a mess.
